Dartmoor Full Circle 100
The Dartmoor 100, "The Full Circle", is the first complete circumnavigation of Dartmoor to take place as an official race event. The route follows the waymarked Dartmoor Way walking route and is the only landlocked 100 mile race in South West England.
The course skirts the periphery of the northern and southern sections of the moor, using wild and ancient tracks and trails as well as woodland and riverside paths, green lanes and quiet country lanes. The route passes well known landmarks and several moorland villages.
The event is continuous and non-stop. Competitors must visit six indoor checkpoints to complete the event. Checkpoints are village or church halls staffed by the event crew and local running clubs, providing food and drink. Competitors are monitored using GPS tracking devices for safety and tracking.
Key facts:
- 100 miles
- 50 miles (Granite 50)
The maximum allowed time is 34 hours. The route includes over 4000 m of ascent and traverses rocky, tussocky and boggy terrain typical of Dartmoor. The race takes place in late autumn so conditions can include cold weather, rain and possible snow, and a night section is included. Entry to the 100 mile event requires prior ultra experience including a minimum 50 mile finish within specified qualifying dates. A GPS tracker or GPX file is provided, and finishers receive a bespoke medal and category prizes. Medical support, changing and shower facilities, parking and food services are provided during the event weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
